Bochum 25-26 Special Kit
This is the new Mizuno VfL Bochum 1848 special shirt for 2025-26.

Newcastle United 26-27 Goalkeeper Shirt Shipped With Wrong Crest Error
A manufacturing error has surfaced regarding Newcastle United's 26-27 goalkeeper kit. While the grey jersey was officially designed to feature the club's circular retro crest alongside the Adidas Trefoil logo, some supporters received shirts featuring Newcastle's standard modern badge instead.
Images shared on social media show the grey Adidas shirt fitted with the present-day coat-of-arms crest rather than the intended vintage round badge worn by players on the pitch. The mistake appears to have affected a small initial batch of production units before the issue was identified prior to full retail distribution.
Societas 1860 München 26-27 Kit Colors Leaked
Following the official announcement of local Munich brand Societas as TSV 1860 München's new kit supplier, early production details have leaked, revealing the color palette planned for the 26-27 season. A leaked care label graphic from the manufacturer shows three main fabric swatches that will form the foundation of the club's new kit set: classic light blue and white, black, and a muted light green.
The tag design prominently features the historical "FA 1860" oval crest alongside the Societas logo. This switch to the historical football department crest comes as a result of ongoing trademark disputes surrounding the traditional lion badge, which prevented 1860 München from using their regular logo on new apparel for the upcoming campaign.
With light blue retaining its role for the traditional home shirt, the black and green swatches indicate dark away and unique third kit options for the 26-27 campaign. Societas, known for its fashion-forward approach and prior special-edition collaborations with the club, officially takes over manufacturing duties on a three-year contract following the end of the previous Joma deal.
